Fresh Black Musky Truffle for Winter Menus

This is a seasonal winter truffle. Ask our Trade Desk for the origin and harvest information attached to the current lot.
Flavor and chef applications
Tuber brumale has a strong, musky and savory aroma. Mature pieces can show rustic earth, spice, and turnip-like notes. It is a practical choice for dishes that can support a decisive truffle profile: pasta, risotto, eggs, cream sauces, potatoes, poultry, meat, and savory fillings. Shave it over warm food or use gentle heat in butter and sauces. Taste the truffle before service and adjust the amount to the intensity of the individual lot.
Pack sizes and grades
The live product record lists 500g (17.64oz) and 1kg (35.27oz) packs in First Class and 2nd Class. First Class is intended for more regular whole pieces and presentation. 2nd Class can include smaller or less visually regular truffles and is well suited to chopping, grating, sauces, and kitchen production. Current stock and pricing are shown in the product selector.
Storage and wholesale ordering
Refrigerate at 2–4°C (35–39°F) in a covered container, with the truffles wrapped in clean, dry paper towel. Replace the towel every day, inspect the truffles, and wait to wash them until just before use. Use promptly, because aroma naturally declines during storage.
